FRAUDULENT EXPOSITION.

Buffalo Bills Wild West has closed the
season in London, England, and the pro-
prietofs Of the enterprise will come out
about $3.50, 900 ahead. 1t was intended
to 60 TO Paris this winter, but the Hip
podrome there was engaged and an e.
fort to secure the Palace Of Industry was
abortiye. The Wild West would have
made at least half a million dollars in
London II IL had not been tied up with
the so-called American Exposition, which
was shameful fraud. II Il had not been
for Buffalo Bill and bis cowboys and In
dams, the American Exposition could not
have remained open three weeks. Il was
the most paltry, miserable affair that ever
bore the name Exposition, and as long as

the street between Mr.. 0'Brien and his
frierds on one side aud the police on the
